Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"It is one of the finest of all love stories: to some it may be the finest.” - Daily Chronicle “Entitles its author, at last, to rank with the best novelists of his generation.” -Quarterly Review. “Those who read it with an understanding heart will keep it long in their memories.” -British Books William Henry Hudson 1919 novel “Green Mansions, a Romance of the Tropical Forest,” is a book of singular beauty. The scene of this romance is laid in a tropical forest near Venezuela and Guiana. The heroine is an original and poetic character who has already been described as an Undine of the woods. It tells of largo open spaces, of rich forests full of vegetable and animal life, of savage races and their thoughts and habits; but, best of all, it tells of the incomparable ilium, a woman halfhuman, half-spirit, but wholly lovely and adorable. Great skill and deep understanding have combined in her creation; she typifies all that is sweet and pure in nature. A woman of the forest, she has learned from bird and beast all there is to know, and the great secrets and joys of the wild natura life are hers. Her meeting with Abel, their love, the tragedy that ensues, and the peace which reconciles and heals—these make up a story of great originality, a story that is both moving and passionately in earnest. Hudson writes not of men who live in cities, real life to him is the study of nature, and his fine disregard of material things—of wealth, position, and power—will strike many a reader with a shock of surprise. To him the things that matter are the beautiful things of the earth and the truths which they embody, and, in a sense, his story is an allegory which is full to the brim of a cold, scathing satire. His humour is dry but infectious, and in describing his hero's relations with the Indians there is many an irresistible touch. Cla-cla, for instance, is particularly well drawn; so vivid is her portraiture that it seems to the reader she is, in part at least, taken straight from life. The book contains many fine passages of true eloquence. About the author: William Henry Hudson (1841 –1922) was an author, naturalist, and ornithologist.

About the Book The romance novel, which is sometimes termed the romantic novel, places its primary focus on the development of a romantic relationship and love between two people. The sub-genres of the romance novel include: fantasy, historical romance, paranormal fiction, and science fiction. Romance novels existed in ancient Greece, and were also to be found in the literary fiction of the 18th and 19th centuries in the works of such authors as Samuel Richardson and Jane Austen. Also in this Book Titles that are fiction anthologies are collections of fiction works chosen by the compiler. They may be a collection of stories by different authors. Also in this Book Urban fiction is set in the urban landscape, although the genre is as much defined by socio-economic and cultural themes. Urban fiction usually has a dark backdrop, focusing on lower socio-economic characters. Themes include profanity, sex, and violence, with authors often drawing upon their own past experiences to enrich their stories.
